Rosa Cleary

Outreach Coordinator
Having just joined GRID Alternatives CO in September of 2021, Rosa is excited to advance GRID's mission of environmental justice in the Workforce Development space. Originally from central New York, Rosa attended Syracuse University majoring in Policy Studies. They got involved in grassroots racial justice organizing during a gap year, and have since had a passion for social justice and political advocacy. Rosa has worked on several local political candidates' campaigns and national campaign efforts in the 2020 Presidential Election. Rosa hopes to advance equity and access to basic resources (housing, transportation, healthcare, food, and education) by helping others see these as necessary for sustained participation in the Workforce rather than conditions of employment and access to financial resources. In her free time, Rosa loves to hike, listen to podcasts, knit hats, and spend time with her beloved pug.
